    Doesnt say if its free amazon prime for the each year or only the first year for the $59 annual fee

    • JerryB on 06/11/2018 - 19:56

      we’ll refund you the cost of your membership to the value of $59

      Sounds like a one-off to me.

    • serpserpserp on 06/11/2018 - 10:18

      Think about doing it for the free Prime membership, since annual fee is $59 and Prime is $59, think about it as paying for a Prime membership, $200 free and a free credit card for a year ;) That way your brain doesn't think you are giving anything to a bank ;)

    What items on amazon.com.au can I purchase using the Promotional Code?
    For the purpose of these terms and conditions, “eligible items” refers to any item sold by Amazon AU and will exclude: (i) items sold by third party sellers (including Amazon US) even if “fulfilled by Amazon”; (ii) digital purchases (such as e-books and app purchases); (iii) gift cards; (iv) subscription purchases (such as Prime, Kindle Unlimited, Amazon Music and Audible); and (v) delivery rates. Amazon's standard delivery rates and policies will apply to purchases made on amazon.com.au or via the Amazon app.

      Thanks for this! I'm new to Amazon, any advice on the best way to search for, or work out what items can be brought with the $200 voucher?

      • Whatisthatvelvet on 11/11/2018 - 08:32

        I think it would be all items fulfilled by Amazon. So no third party sellers.

  • hamwhisperer on 06/11/2018 - 09:37

    I wish the 8TB Hard drives Amazon.com.au are stocking were listed WITH GST INCLUDED, instead of illegally excluding it.

    ("Item ships from USA") so you get stung with 10% GST at checkout, despite the $247 price on the WD being listed in AUD.
    Otherwise I'd consider this.

    • asa79 on 06/11/2018 - 09:37

      Wont be covered under the $200 voucher either

    • jimbobaus on 28/11/2018 - 18:26

      They are listed on the global store… hence why they are allowed to add gst at end

        Wealth package entitles you to 1 card for free per year, so no reason it wouldnt.

        I went for the dearest one at $349 per year

        • Whatisthatvelvet on 06/11/2018 - 11:12

          Thanks. Might have to get on board too

          • Singu1arity on 06/11/2018 - 11:19

            @Whatisthatvelvet: As bgktmxg mentioned, 1 card free, so yes it certainly does, and as long as you're good with your card, why not go with the one that offers the most benefits (we did).

            • spiff on 06/11/2018 - 20:32

              @Singu1arity: If you're planning on keeping the credit card, then getting the highest card you can get makes sense. But if you're going to churn, then I would prefer to get the lowest card (that has the same benefit) so my credit history gets hit with a 1k enquiry rather than a 15k enquiry.

        • sydneygirl on 11/11/2018 - 11:12

          presumably if you already have one under that package it won't count?

  • T-man on 06/11/2018 - 10:34

    CBA cards are now the worst card on the market after axing the Amex. The transfer rate to airline partners is poor, expensive annual fee, very basic features.

      If you're going to have Amazon Prime for a year+, it won't. Also you have more than 90 days to spend the 500 which might be relevant for some

      Honestly, it's about time I abused the crap out of these sorts of offers. I don't need a new mortgage.. ever.. hopefully. Sans a divorce or something. So who cares about my credit rating.

        but the conditions for this offer say: "Offers exclude all other card types" ?

        • justtoreply on 06/11/2018 - 12:26

          This offer:
          Awards Credit Card
          Platinum Awards Credit Card
          Diamond Awards Credit Card

          Other offer:
          Low Rate
          Low Rate Gold

          I don't see an issue, the card types don't clash.

          You can't switch or upgrade (ie: you keep both cards).

          Anything I'm missing?

          • Associatedcocoloco @ Commonwealth Bank on 06/11/2018 - 13:05

            @justtoreply: I believe if you hold or have held an existing credit card with CommBank within the last 12 months you’re ineligible for the voucher

  • warrior1024 on 06/11/2018 - 10:49

    So just to confirm cause I’m a bit of an idiot, I’m ineligible to upgrade from my current low rate credit card to the awards card to receive this deal?

      Correct. The first line under eligibility:

      • FeZZa21 on 06/11/2018 - 11:21

        Oh well, the $200 cashback from the low rate is better deal anyway

          • JediJan on 07/11/2018 - 21:47

            @buckster: My Commonwealth Visa card is a Credit Visa Card; not a prepaid version. No fees, not bundled with a mortgage loan or anything and never had a loan actually. Decent credit limit; enough to buy a new car or two. Not associated with a rewards program; online it says I can "get automatic access to the (Awards) program with an Awards credit card" so I guess it could be upgraded if I wished, but never been interested enough to find out. Have had this card for about 35 years to replace the old "bankcard." Just use it as a convenience and pay it out before the due date. The interest rates are pretty steep if I didn't pay it out though; 18.99% p.a. on purchases, 21.24% p.a. on cash advances. I am sure the bank makes a little interest out of others! I also make use of a Qantas Cash (Mastercard) prepaid credit card, to keep an eye on our shopping budget. When buying online I prefer to use the prepaid one if PayPal is not accepted.

      • adgnetworks on 06/11/2018 - 18:21

        And still be paying $59 per year.

        No thanks.

          You don't use cards like this after the first year, make use of the sign up bonus ($200 and annual fee offset by free prime membership) and then cancel and move on.

  • Kapkap07 on 06/11/2018 - 11:14

  • JediJan on 06/11/2018 - 13:03

    Sounds good! Don't think the Commonwealth Bank would give me another credit card though. Only have temp work lined up for now and they never make any money (interest) out of me with my OTT Visa card.
    I pay no fees either. Must be a huge disappointment to them.

    Have never had a loan either; saved for all my vehicles. When I took over $20,000 out to buy a new car last year they discretely took me aside to ask me what the money was for … and then asked if I required insurance lol. No, on both counts.

    Used to make a fair bit of interest years ago, so I am not impressed with these record profits the banks make these days yet next to no interest for the customers.

  • idonotknowwhy on 06/11/2018 - 20:25

    Honestly, you're better off with one of the real cash back or points credit cards than this. As pointed out above, you need to pay for prime, the annual fee, and you're locked in to shopping at Amazon (or selling at a discoint in the classifieds).

    Use your finite amount of credit applications per year elsewhere. I don't bother for less than $400 clean profit after all the fees, etc.

    • spiff on 06/11/2018 - 20:38

      Typically I'd agree with you but I'm in a funny period where my 18 month Amex hiatus is not yet up, ANZ FF waiting period still not over, Westpac rejected me for no reason (more than double min income requirement, 700+ credit score), already have ANZ Travel Rewards… and mortgage is with CBA so this card's annual fee is waived. So this hit the sweet spot to tie me over.

      • idonotknowwhy on 06/11/2018 - 22:16

        That last point about the annual fee is great.

        I saw a lot of people getting rejected for the bendigo bank card as well (despite 6 figure salaries, 100k+ in savings and 700+ credit scores.

        In the FIRE community, they're discussing how maybe the banks are onto us churners and rejecting.

              @Ameowzon: Yeah, that's it. Churning regularly (not just credit cards) is a good way to cut living expenses, and divert more funds to our investments, that's why it came up.

              There's also "FU" where you just get financially independent so that you can get "FU" to your boss if they try to get you to do something you don't like lol. It's more for those who enjoy working in their field and want to continue doing so without relying on it.

      • sydneygirl on 11/11/2018 - 11:13

        I'm curious why you don't already have the CBA card though if you mortgage is with them and fee waived?

        • spiff on 12/11/2018 - 11:36

          Because there are much better cards to earn points on everyday spend. So like with any other card, I'll churn if there's no reason to hold on to it.

    Got mine today as well. The email says some crap about adding it as a promotional code to orders.
    You DO NOT need to do this. Simply add the code as a gift card and you will get $200 in your Amazon balance.
    NB: if you use your balance to pay for an item, you don't get cashrewards on it. :(
